Hi there, my iMac has automatically been deleting files from my thumb drive when I try to open them. The lost files aren'tin the trash or anywhere else I can think of. Any ideas?
iMac, iOS 6.1.4
How is the thumb drive formatted and do you use it between OS X and MS Windows machines? Finally have you tried a differenct thumb drive?
I do use the thumb drive between OS X and MS Windows. I've recently used anoher thum drive with no issues. I'm not sure how the thumb drive is formatted.
If one drive works and the other doesn't that points the finger at the errant drive. They are cheap, replace it. To check formatting right click it in Finder and choose Get Info and look for Format type. Finally do you eject it when removing it or do you just pull it out of the USB connection?
I eject the drive before removing it, but it is an old drive. I'll take your advice and replace it ASAP. Formatting is MS-Dos (FAT16). I will take your advice and replace the drive.
